The Mediapro Studio Doubles Down on U.S., English-Language Content, Creates New Los Angeles HQ Headed by Juan ‘JC’ Acosta (EXCLUSIVE)
Revealed to Variety by The Mediapro Studio CEO Laura Fernández Espeso, the new operation takes in scripted, non-scripted, docs, movies.
Based out of Century City, the new U.S. operation will develop, produce and distribute for a global market English-language scripted, non-scripted reality and entertainment, documentaries and features, said Fernández Espeso, Variety’s 2024 International Media Woman of the Year. Much of that growth has come from the incorporation of key talent – for example, Ran Tellem and Daniel Burman – as well as buying into companies, such as Erik Barmack’s Wild Sheep Content, or acquiring them outright – Latin America’s Cimarrón, or launching production joint ventures, such as Moonlyon with Penelope Cruz. It’s no coincidence, I think, that when Mediapro and Viacom looked to expand their production in Latin America, they very quickly began to team together to make “N00bees,” “Victoria Small,” “Los Internacionales” and “Cecila,” released over 2019-22.
